Knowledge

Constantly studying key processes and measures as well as trying new methods as practices evolve, allows Haworth to build a robust base of knowledge in sustainability. As we lead by example and share our approach and data, we develop relationships with our customers, non-governmental organizations, and suppliers. Our goal is to provide transparency while continuing to be a trusted advisor.

Continuing Education Units

Haworth seeks to be a trusted advisor to our stakeholders. We recognize that a sustainable company does not act alone in the business ecosystem, it collaborates with companies to make the world a better place. Our goal is to engage stakeholders to identify and implement business practices that support our sustainability goals. One avenue to make this connection is through Continuing Education Units. We offer our stakeholders the opportunity to learn from our sustainability experts about emerging trends in subjects such as chemistry, biodiversity, and green building. Our goal is to have an open dialogue that moves each group closer to a solution that protects or restores the environment, creates a better place for people to live and work, and meets economic goals.

Client Stories: U.S. Green Building Council Headquarters

As interest in green building has grown, so has the staff of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The organization growth required a move to a larger, more sophisticated and exceptionally sustainable environment. As creators of the LEED Green Building Rating System, the USGBC sought LEED Platinum certification for their interior build out. Our products helped them achieve this goal.
